Multi-event time and data tracking device (for behavior analysis)

摘要

A battery operated multi-event data and time tracking device for monitoring behaviors and behavior-related data for the purpose of analysis, comprising a plurality of buttons on the face and/or touch screen of a device, grouped together and labeled with numbers 1-26 and letters A-Z organized in a qwerty format icons and with icons representing various behavioral events and behavior-related data. The information screen will additionally display various temporal, numerical and anecdotal data corresponding to particular behavioral events. There is also a decimal point button, a clear button and scanning buttons as well as set, data and off switches. The device further comprises a microprocessor, a USB port, a SD card port, wireless, including but not limited to Bluetooth and WiFi capability for data transfer to and from a permanent memory storage or data cloud, wherein data will be organized in graphic format for the analysis of behaviors and behavioral data.

1. A battery operated multi-event data and time tracking device for monitoring behaviors and behavior-related data consisting essentially of:
a first plurality of buttons on the face the device, grouped together and labeled with numbers 1-26 and letters A-Z organized in a QWERTY format, which records and stores behavior-related data and has the capability of instantly indicating that data as well as an aggregate number of instances of a particular behavioral event or program through display on an information screen on the face of the device; a second plurality of buttons on the face of the device, grouped together and labeled to represent their functions, wherein each button accesses and has a capability of recording data of different behavioral events and programs with all buttons corresponding to representation in iconic, numerical or word form on the information screen of the device; a clear button, a decimal point button and scanning multi-directional arrow button on the face of the device with a capability to navigate different screens of the device through finger movements on the face of the device; an On, Off and Wireless transmission switch on a side of the device; an information screen on the face of the device displaying temporal, numerical and anecdotal data in various modes with respect to particular events and programs, a microprocessor for providing temporary memory storage for the device and mode selection and data input for each of the buttons as well as allowing wireless, WiFi, and/or Bluetooth transmission of data to and from a permanent memory storage of other computing devices and/or data cloud; and USB and SD card ports on a side of the device for optional non-wireless data transfer from the temporary memory storage to and from the permanent memory storage for the purpose of having the data organized in a graphic format to facilitate a functional analysis of behaviors as well as a comparison of behavior trends based on the frequency, duration, temporal data and simultaneous occurrences of behaviors.
